There are just months left to strike a deal on the future UK-EU relationship.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair said it was “more likely… than a few months ago” that Brexit could be stopped, saying it was “not too late”.

Blair, a strong backer of UK membership of the EU, told BBC Radio 4’s Today the “sensible” option was to “take a final decision” once the terms of the deal have been set out.

On 29 March 2019, the UK will formally leave the EU and is due to enter a 21-month transition period during which much of the current arrangements continue, before the final permanent post-membership relationship is due to kick-in.
